25 Socratic Questions for Elementary Students
Classical rhetoric broke down the building blocks of creating arguments (“invention”) into five common topics, or topoi. From these five topics, teachers can facilitate lively discussions on any book, issue, or subject. They can also form the basis of writing prompts, or, if a student is having writer’s block, using one of the common topics as a jumping off point or frame can help get them started. The five topics are:
•Definition
•Comparison
•Relationship
•Circumstance
•Testimony
